Devashish Gosain

Assistant Professor, CSE, IIT Bombay
I am an associated researcher at Max Planck Institute of Informatics.

I completed my PhD (in Network Security) from IIIT Delhi in 2020 with Sambuddho. Then, for two years, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the INET research group, Max Planck Institute of Informatics, Germany with Anja Feldmann. I completed my second postdoc  at the COSIC research group, KU Leuven, Belgium with Claudia Diaz.  For a stint, I worked as an assistant professor at BITS Pilani Goa.

I am seeking motivated people to join my group as PhD, master's or undergraduate research students. Interested folks must see prospective students web page before applying. Thanks!
